CSS - Div Tags And Hover...
I have some listing text that comes from a database, displayed in a column. Each block of text is enclosed in a DIV tag. I use the following to cause the area of the text to change background color when there is a mouseover:
Quote: div.list { padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; } div.list:hover { background-color: #FFFACD; } Works fine for Firefox, but doesn't do anything in IE. How can I fix this so it works in IE as well? Similar TutorialsHaving two problems, kind of related to browsers. 1) Most of the time, the site loads better under Firefox. For some reason, Firefox won't implement the text-decoration:none attribute. Any ideas? 2) Also, the on hover flip filter doesn't seem to be working in IE, which i was told was the only browser that would work in? I think I used bad syntax, but can't find it. Help would be appreciated! edit--i used the html validation and the css one, the html said I cant use the xspace and vspace in this iframe: <iframe class="fade" style="position:absolute; top:125; left:200;" src="blog.html" width="400" height="400" frameborder="0" align="left" xspace="3" vspace="3"></iframe> this is the only i frame I use, and was something I got off a frames tutorial... guess i didn't learn it well enough? was a ton more wrong with the css, but it wasn't like the html validator and telling me where i went wrong. here is the full css file: .fade{filter:alpha(opacity=70); -moz-opacity:0.7; background:#ffffff;} font, td{color:#0000FF; font-size:medium; font-family:sans-serif; font:"Comic Sans MS",Tahoma;} a,a:link,a:visited,a:hover,a:active { font-size:medium; font-weight:bold; font-family:sans-serif; font:"Comic Sans MS",Tahoma; text-decoration:none; } .link1 a:link { color:#0000FF; } .link1 a:visited { color:#0000FF; } .link1 a:hover { color:#0000FF; filter:flipv; } .link1 a:active { color:#0000FF; } .link2 a:link { color:#0000F5; } .link2 a:visited { color:#0000F5; } .link2 a:hover { color:#0000F5; filter:flipv; } .link2 a:active { color:#0000F5; } could someone please help me figure out what I did to my fonts, and where the links are preventing the underline decoration from being disabled? <div style="blah"> What would be used to put :hover in the style tag in place of 'blah'? my layout is pretty simple... Code: <div class="container"> <div class="topbar"> <div class="list"> <div class="gametitle"></div> <div class="percentage"></div> <div class="system"></div> </div> </div> i have the following CSS applied to gametitle, percentage and system... for somereason, gametitle doesnt work... Code: .gametitle { float:left; width:250px; color:#FFF; } .gametitle a:link, .gametitle a:visted, .gametitle a:hover {color:#FFF;} .percentage { float:left; color:#FFF; } .percentage a:link, .percentage a:visited, .percentage a:hover {color:#FFF;} .system { float:right; color:#FFF; } .system a:link, .system a:visited, .system a:hover {color:#FFF;} here is the page where all this code is going down... Mini Catalog Hi, I am trying to get a hover to work with my links. The problem is when i have a list-style-type in css. When that exists, the link text for each link goes behind the bullets instead staying to the right of them. What do i need to do to have a list-style and the hover effect hovering over the links? I have a drop down menu located at http://www.fieldspianos.com/new/index.php If you hover over the menu items they turn black and white when you are right on the text but not if you are in the area surrounding it which is what I also need to occur. You can view the source on the page for the html but I will include the css below. This is the basic layout of the menu: Code: <ul> <li>About Us</li> <ul> <li><a href="#">Locations</a></li> etc..etc..etc.. Here is the css: Code: /*Begin Content of drop down menu*/ a { outline:none; } * html div#dropdownmenu ul { float: left; } * { margin: 0; padding: 0; } div#dropdownmenu { float: left; background-color: #C8C6C6; font-size:11px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; } div#dropdownmenu ul li { list-style-type: none; float: left; background-color: #000000; position: relative; } div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover { list-style-type: none; background-color: #000000; } /*Hides drop downs when not overed over and reveals them when they are hovered over.*/ body div#dropdownmenu ul li ul { display: none; } body div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover ul { display: block; } div#dropdownmenu ul li ul { margin: 0; width: 13em; position: absolute; left: -1px; } div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li { width: 100%; background-color:#bdb35e; color: #660000; border-bottom: 1px solid #000; border-left: 1px solid #000; border-right: 1px solid #000; padding: 3px; } div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li:first-child { border-top: 1px solid #000; } div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; } div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li a { color: #660000; text-decoration:none; outline: none; } div#dropdownmenu ul li ul li a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #000000; text-decoration:none; outline: none; } div#dropdownmenu ul li:hover ul, div#dropdownmenu ul li ul:hover { display: block; } Any help is greatly appreciated, this seems like it would be a simple fix but I can't figure it out. Maybe I am overlooking some small detail. Thanks! Hi, I have some code that looks like this . #nav,#nav ul which puts all the listed elements in a vertical list. Now if I do ths #nav ul.. this changes all the elemnts to a horizontal list. What does the ',' do for the id css tags exactly as i thought it refered to nested <ul> lists but is doesn't. I've used css to change my alt tag text to be consistent in size and font to the rest of the site, however, a couple of my images are relatively thin, but are tall. It seems that the alt tags get centered to the image, so you only see the middle of the tag, not the beginning and the end. Is there a way to wrap the text within the confines of the image. Thanks. Im trying to control how the text formats within a div tag, that sits inside a menu. The text appears when you rollover the items in the submenu and I want extra information to appear but when it does, it doesnt wrap 'correctly' I have the menu sitting he http://www.electronical.org/tmp/playsongs/ If you rollover 'Products > playsong titles', you will see some blue text appears at the bottom of the submenu. How do I format this so it is the width of the submenu and wraps to the length of it? Thanks for any help. I'm sorta new to CSS-positioning so some of the code looks jumbly. But I'm trying to make the page work in mozilla's firefox and in the process of doing that I broke it in IE. Anyways, here is the link to the buggy page that the div containers hop all over the place. If you hit refreash enough you will see the lower section that displays the extra news articles will lose its left-margin setting and hop around. Plus it drops the archive container down below the extended news section as if they widths are clashing when they appear fine in firefox. I'm assuming there is probably some type of ie bug and I'm curious if someone has a link to a hack for it? Could use any help I want to center and element, more specifically div elements with css. I have looked through source code from many websites. It seems there is not a simple solution to centering text. I have tried using: Code: .content { align: center; } I would like my content to remain centered even when the browser is resized. Instead for using "right: 400px" this works however for my resolution but not for the next guy. I am lost and would like an explanation. For other thread there were vague mentions about rightmargin and left margin. Unfortunately experimenting proved unsuccessful; therefore, leading me to write this thread. I greatly appreciate all help provided. Thanks I am currently setting the body id of my pages to highlight what item I am on... Such as: body#news #news_tab a, { border-bottom: 1px solid #fff; background: #fff; color: #000; } But I was wondering if it was also possible to somehow make a div appear (changing display from hidden to block) by putting an id in the body tag....But since the div isn't a link, for some reason I can't make it work. I tried: Adding this div: <div id="news" style="display:none">Testing Me</div> Adding this body tag: <body id="news"> And then adding this style definition: body#news #news { display: block; } but it still doesn't display. Is this just not possible? Is there anyway around it? Thanks! hey guys, I got a interesting situation here. I'm building this site... http://www.peelautoradio.com/source/start.php The problem is, I've attempted to pickup the style sheets from an external file (site.css). Everything works fine, however, if you click on a link (that isn't complete) or refresh the page too many times - the styles are lost. here's the css tags. (I'm using include "site.css" in my php now). Code: <style> body { margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; color: #333333; line-height: 1.166; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background: #FFFFFF; } #topcell { position: relative; top: 0px; left: 0px; margin: 10px; width: 750px; height: 250px; background-color: transparent; overflow: auto; vertical-align: justify; } #botcell { position: relative; margin: 10px; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 700px; height: 250px; background-color: transparent; overflow: auto; vertical-align: justify; } #topMenuLinks { position: relative; top: 2px; left: 5px; width: 548px; height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 9px 2px 2px; } #topMenuLinks a:link, #menuLinks a:visited { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #97163D; border-right: 1px solid #CB8A9E; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; } #topMenuLinks a:hover { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #FFDBE7; border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: #EC7A9D; text-decoration: none; } #botMenuLinks { position: relative; top: 2px; left: 170px; width: 548px; height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 3px 9px 2px 2px; } #botMenuLinks a:link, #menuLinks a:visited { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #97163D; border-right: 1px solid #CB8A9E; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; } #botMenuLinks a:hover { display: inline; color: #DCE8FF; border-left: 4px solid #FFDBE7; border-right: 1px solid #FFFFFF; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold; padding: 3px 20px 3px 10px; background-color: #EC7A9D; text-decoration: none; } </style> Any ideas? Hi there, this is concerning 'id' tags...i've got a style set for my <a> tags, and i wish to create a second <a> style, to be applied to a small set of the <a>'s in my site. I know the #blah should be used to set an id for it, but here's my concern; 1. where do i state the id for the <a>? (ie. <div id="blah"> or <a href="http:///////" id="blah">). 2. do i need to define an id for the existing style? or can i just leave it the way it is and apply the id to the one i want different? thanks in advance. This must be a common problem but I have no way to look it up in the forum. In Firefox and IE7 you can define CSS for successive tags with the larger sign: div>span { ... } Does anyone know of anything similar for IE6 ? Hello! Can anyone help me with this one... I'm trying to figure out how to change the following css/html (or if it's even possible) so it still works after removing the surrounding <span> tag. (There is additional javascript which shows/hides the div but I've removed it so it's simpler to read). So the current html below would be shortened to: Code: <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="sddm"><u>Settings</u> <div id="m1" class="alignl"> <a href="#">HTML Drop Down</a> <a href="#">DHTML Menu</a> <a href="#">JavaScript DropDown</a> <a href="#">Cascading Menu</a> <a href="#">CSS Horizontal Menu</a> </div> </a> ORIGINAL CSS/HTML: Code: <style type="text/css"> /* Drop Down Menu */ span.sddm { z-index: 30; white-space: nowrap; position: relative; } span.sddm a { text-decoration: none; } span.sddm a:hover { text-decoration: none; color: blue; } span.sddm div { position: absolute; display: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #fff; border: 1px solid #3366cc; border-top: 1px solid #c9d7f1; border-left: 1px solid #c9d7f1; top: 18px; } span.sddm div a { position: relative; display: block; margin: 0px; padding: 2px 5px; width: auto; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; } span.sddm div a:hover { background: #3366cc; color: #fff; } span.sddm .alignl { left: 0px; } span.sddm .alignr { right: 3px; } </style> <span class="sddm"> <a href="javascript:void(0);"><u>Settings</u> <small>▼</small></a> <div id="m1" class="alignl"> <a href="#">HTML Drop Down</a> <a href="#">DHTML Menu</a> <a href="#">JavaScript DropDown</a> <a href="#">Cascading Menu</a> <a href="#">CSS Horizontal Menu</a> </div> </span> Hello, I've been messin with this all night but just can't get the result i'm after. The bit of code which follows, almost works - except the fields on the right hand side don't align to the top (to be in line with the top of each text on the left). What am I doing wrong? Can anyone please help me?

Hi, i have to display a list of links horizontally, wrapped in a <ul> tag. For seo reasons now these links have to be wrapped in <h2> tags. In IE6 + IE7 this causes a linebreak and the links are displayed in a vertical list. sth like #myId LI { display:inline-block; } #myId LI H2{ display:inline-block; } solves the problem for Firefox but not for IEs. Do you know a solution?
